AbstractThis thesis reviews tunneling and underground construction in Vietnam. History of tunneling is firstly reviewed. Relevant studies and researches on tunneling and geology condition of Vietnam are brought forward. Literatures relating to tunneling in Vietnam are briefly introduced in this study. Particularly, the geotechnical conditions of two urban areas of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh city are considered with respect to tunneling work. Selected case studies are reviewed namely: Hoa Binh underground hydropower, Hai Van Pass tunnel, Deo Ngang Pass Tunnel and Thu Thiem river crossing tunnel. Geotechnical conditions, design of supports, methods of excavation and construction procedures of tunnels and underground openings in these case studies are reviewed.
